Scoop: Seth MacFarlane Braves the Shark Tank

Funnyman Seth MacFarlane will get dead-serious about a new business proposal when he pops up on ABC’s Shark Tank during November sweeps.

TVLine has learned that the creator of Family Guy/American Dad/The Cleveland Show, Ted writer/director, recent SNL host and upcoming Oscars emcee will appear on the Nov. 2 episode to throw his support behind a California man who claims to have built a better fly trap.

Currently airing Fridays at 8/7c — where last week it was the night’s highest rated program — Shark Tank with McFarlane’s visit will christen a new 9 o’clock time slot, making room for the new comedy block of Last Man Standing and Reba McEntire’s Malibu Country.
